Majority Decisions

December 29, 1992|By James Watt.

GLENCOE — The Constitution guarantees the protection of minority rights from majority compulsions. It does not give a mandate to any minority to dictate policy to the majority without the consent of the majority.

Many self-appointed minority ``watchdog`` groups are using the court system to usurp the power of the majority for their own interests. The Revolutionary War was fought by our forefathers because of singular rejection of this dictatorial arrogance. The structure of the Zion Township seal is clearly a matter for referendum and not the courts. It is appalling that this is not obvious in our ``informed society.``
